Nigeria’s Vice President, Mr. Yemi Osinbajo, on Tuesday said the Federal Government would employ 200,000 unemployed graduates by the end of the month.
Osinbajo, who spoke to journalists at the Presidential Villa, said a number of social investment programmes of the Buhari presidency has reached advanced stages.
The direct government jobs are meant to keep young people occupied, pay them some amount of money and also give them a device.
He said the device would also help them to learn several skills that they could develop with time.
He said, “We expect that before the end of the month, we will engage 200,000, out of the 500,000 unemployed graduates the Buhari administration plans to hire in the N-Power jobs programme.
“We are hoping that before the end of the year we should have engaged more.”
